Electroforming Basics for Miniature and Specialized Component

Electroforming is the process of depositing thin layers of metal onto a mandrel through electroplating, dissolving the mandrel chemically, and leaving the plating as the final electroformed product. The mandrel is the base machined component, typically made from Aluminum 6061T or stainless steel, which defines the internal geometry of an electroform. In component manufacturing, it is typically more difficult to hold internal dimension to tight tolerances than external dimensions.
